HelpRe: Haven for a boy
in reply to a message by A
i also love it as a boy's name, but am not a fan of it on a girl. i generally prefer gentler names for boys.
also not to get too #deep into it but...it carries a better message for a boy than a girl. women are expected to be safe havens for men to vent their frustrations at, to create a safe haven by being a homemaker, by deescalating situations- generally taught to make everyone else comfortable and happy, at the cost of their own comfort and happiness. men on the flip side aren't usually taught to consider other's feelings enough. so it gives a message to a boy to be gentle and create/be a safe haven for others to trust.
again not to analyze everything, just while on the topic of the name on a girl vs a boy.
